Creative punishments ?

Recommended Posts

What were some of your parents or if your a parent creative punishments ?
My dad came up with:
Mowing (what seemed like 10 acres) the lawn with a push mower
Going to the neighbors and cleaning barn (gag)
Picking up horse crap from the field
Picking rocks
He seemed to never run out of ideas!!!
No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible.
Believe me I tried.

Dad was prior military..

Not necessarily "creative" but the forward leaning rest (push up position), 8 count body builders, 4 count flutter kicks and other endless hours of "PT" usually got the point across and served me well when I joined up :^)

My first guardian ad litem case as a law student was representing an 11 year-old kid whose parents would force him to eat the hair out of a hairbrush. Boy, was that creative. :S




Which actually was a skill that came in quite handy latter in life! >:(:$

Some "creative" punishments can seem innocent enough like having to mow the lawn or puling weeds. Certainly wouldn't raise an eyebrow to most neighbors. Of course, depending on the kid's allergies . . .

Some parents need to be beaten for their "creativity."

I'm sorry it was meant as a lite post nothing more. Believe me I don't condone any form of child abuse.
But, mowing the grass,cleaning a barn,picking rocks didn't kill me.
Even the times I was spanked didn't kill me.
I got away with more then I should have and had a great childhood

My Dad wasn't creative. He was an offensive lineman. He stood by the old standard play: The Belt.



I hear THAT! :)

Mine was 6'3" 240# and an ex golden gloves boxer.

Damn fast too, I could NOT beat him in a foot race until I was in my late-teens!

I tried the run-for-your-life tactic...it didn't work for me either.
I never knew an offensive lineman could move that fast.

When I thought I outgrew the belt, he asked me if wanted to go bare-knuckles.
"Ummmm...no sir."

My reality and yours are quite different.

We use to race all the time...he'd never 'let' me win which was cool in retrospect.

I told him once I bet I could run faster scared than he could mad...he said~

"Okay...It's a BET!" :o

mrowc6 and i believed in making the punishment fit the "crime."

When our daughter was young, she had a self-control problem coupled with a low frustration point that resulted in destructive behavior. When she was in middle school, she kicked a hole in a luan door. We made her do extra chores (which she was paid for), made her buy a new door, hardware, stain and finish. She then learned how to stain and finish wood, chisel recesses for the hinges, and she hung the door and put the old knob back on!

She never again destroyed anything in a fit of anger. B|

I know this will be surprising, but I never really got in trouble beyond, "quit bothering your brothers!". My Dad is a Marine, I was too afraid to get in trouble!

Those sound like normal "chores".

This.

My dad finally stopped kicking my ass when I swung back and made him stagger back a few steps.

He was a big strong man. Short tempered. I was curious and ornery about everything. For some reason we seemed to cross paths once in awhile. :D


I have three daughters. All I EVER had to say was "GIRLS!!!!"
